Lucas: Miller Enjoying Whirlwind Summer

Posted Sep 18, 2006

The crush of autograph seekers isn't the only thing that's changed for Andrew Miller over the past two months. He's gone from Chapel Hill to Omaha to Lakeland, Florida, to the heat of a division race with Detroit. After signing on August 4, the Tigers sent him to their rookie league team in Lakeland (where the crowd for his debut was 287), just two hours from his family's home in Gainesville. (Tar Heel Blue)
